Why Silicone?
Silicone for roofing applications is a proven, reliable technology, currently in use on a variety of structures all over the world. In most cases, a silicone membrane is applied over a Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) base, creating a durable, flexible and moisture-resistant seal.
Silicone is made from silicon metal, the second most common element on earth, making it one of the most abundant natural resources. Its recovery and processing is simple and has minimal environmental impact. The per-unit cost of silicon is low. By comparison, traditional roofing is petroleum-based, with high raw material costs and high environmental impact in reclamation, processing and disposal. Petroleum supplies are growing in scarcity and are constantly impacted by volatile world events. When petroleum prices fluctuate, so do the prices of petroleum-based roofing systems.
